Divine Revelation and Poetry ________ DIFFERENCE |
Peace be upon the holy prophets. If Allah wills, What Allah wills. Divine Revelation and Poetry ________ DIFFERENCE In Surah Yasin (36) verse 69 Allah says:- “Then unto the rolling heaven itself I cried: What lamp had destiny to guide Its little children stumbling in the dark? And ‘a blind understanding’ Heaven replied.” In none of the 6236 verses of the holy Quran does a man cry to the rolling heaven but cries directly to God. Holy Quran maintains 100% accuracy in words. And the Holy Quran does not encourage blind understanding. The Holy Quran wants knowledge to be the basis of faith. Read the following proof: Surah Family of Imran (3) in Verse 18 says: So in the Holy Quran Allah emphasizes that only people with knowledge bear witness and not people with blind understanding. The great Tennyson wrote: Whom we that have not seen thy face By faith and by faith alone embrace Believing where we can not prove How can the Creator who has infinite knowledge and wisdom encourage blind understanding and belief without proof? The Holy Quran laid great emphasis on belief with proof. Similarly the great poet Allama Iqbal wrote: Here again the poet addresses the sky and says that the sky has tested us a hundred times. OFCOURSE THE POET DOES NOT MEAN THE SKY ITSELF but refers to God (Omar Khayyam also meant rolling heaven in the same manner). But such examples are nowhere found in the Holy QURAN ________ In the Holy Quran the sky or rolling heaven has never been used in place of God, because the Holy Quran is not poetry. But the Majesty and Glory of God has been mentioned
